2018 WRX STI Type RA

The model is heading to Nürburgring later to make an attempt at setting a new speed record. Knock on wood, but by the end of the summer, that attempt could be a success. Quick alphabet soup lesson, the RA in the name stands for “Record Attempt”.

The Type RA improves the power of the WRX’s 2.5-liter turbocharged Boxer with STI cold-air intakes and a high flow exhaust system, tweaking to the third gear of the 6-speed transmission, and updates on the suspension and engine.

Horsepower estimates rate it 310, which is a good 42-horses more than the standard model.

2018 BRZ tS

The unique tS is also the first BRZ with 18-inch wheels. The lightweight wheels improve performance along with Brembo brakes, an STI carbon fiber manually adjusting rear spoiler, and front, side, and rear under spoilers.

The front fog lights are ditched for STI light covers.

Black leather and Alcantara upholstery make up the majority of the cabin. Subaru makes it pop with red contrast stitching on the steering wheel, door and dash panels, shifter, and emergency brake. Further red accents are red leather front seat bolsters and belts and tS logo seatback embroidery,
